Sci/Tech 'Glasses free 3D' 55" TV - FOUR TIMES higher resolution than Hi-Def

[MrBrooks]

'Glasses-free' 3D has taken another step towards the mainstream, as Toshiba announces a price and release date for the first large set to hit the home. On December 10, Toshiba's REGZA 553X is also capable of '4K' resolutions - four times current hi-def sets. Sadly, the price should ensure the 'naked eye' 3D set doesn't hit the mainstream straight away - it will be £7,400, and only available in Japan. It will launch in the UK early next year, price to be confirmed.

It could mark a revolution in 3D televisions - consumers are still lukewarm about the technology, and most surveys indicate that the problem is that people aren't comfortable wearing glasses. Unlike previous 'glasses-free' technologies, Toshiba's uses a 'face tracking' system so that each person sees 'perfect' 3D. Earlier 'glasses free' sets, such as ones pioneered by Philips, required you to be sat precisely in front of them to see 3D rather than a weird blur - and even then the effect was jarring and artificial.

'Glasses-free 3D' hits big time as Toshiba sets a date and price for 55-inch set - with a resolution FOUR TIMES hi-def

On sale on December 10, Toshiba's £4,700 REGZA is also capable of '4K' resolutions - and uses hi-tech 'face tracking' to aim 3D images at each person sat in front of it.

I honestly don't think we can tell much difference between our HD right now and the 4x HD they are featuring. Our eyes can only see so clearly after all. Although technology's HD can surpass what we can see, we cannot tell the difference. But still, very cool!

Kinda reminds me of the talk about eyes can't see more than 60 FPS...

Too bad nothing has this resolution. Kind of useless right now.
